A Blue-BlOoded Episode.

Boston Transcript.
The Listener has story that he is in doubt
whether it is we'll to tell or not Perhaps a good
way to settle the question is to submit it to the
judgment of the most judicious of his readers,
politely requesting all others not to read it.
1t relates to the recent kirmess, of picturesque
and delightful memory, and to a rather
odd question which came up during the
proceedings. There was one battalion of
dancers-let the Listener call them the Bull
garians-who prlded themselves upon being.

the rest of the people who took part in the affair.
Some few of them were really sin society," The
leader of this division, the director thought, pre-
sumed slightly upon this fact. and lost sight Of
some of the requirements Of the drill. At last
the manager became impatient at what he re-
earded inattention to the details of the dance.
and exclaimed
Mrs. Saugazur, we can do nothing if you re-
main. l wish you would go homer
I'll go home2 This is insult, sir!"
sBut if you don't your people will never do the
dance properly"
'Dance2 Well. if they can't dance they have

The disturbance was arranged some way, and

in spite of their blood and their grandfathers,

A Lock of Goethe's Hair.
Pail Mall GaZ


In the collection Of the Goethe Carlyle CORE
spondence just published there is episode of
ludicrous interest not altogether without its pa
thetic side. 1t is that in which Mrs. Carlyle. in
the year 1929, sent Goethe lock of her hair
concerning which am to say" writes Thomas,
that except to her husband she never did the
like to any man." In exchange she begged for a
lock of Goethe's hair, and this ''for heart that
honestly loves YOU" 81, too" wrote the hus-
band. ''hope that you will do SO much. "
Goethe, who was then in his eighty first year,
found himself in painful predicament, which
he thus explained:
The incompatible lock of hair al
most alarmed me. The contrast was too strik-
ing, for cid not need to touch my skull to be-
come aware chat only stubble was left there, nor
it necessary for to go to the looking glass
to learn that long flight of time had given it a
discolored look. The impossibility of making
the desired return smote my heart and forced
thoughts upon me which one usually prefers to
Danish. In the end, however, nothing remained
for me but to content myself with the reflection
that such gift was to be most thankfully re-
ceived without hope of any adequate requital
Poor Mrs Carlyle. how she must have bit her
lip at the thought of her blunder.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Woodruff Place.

TO the Editor of the indianapolis JourD-.:
As there is an irrepressibls conflict between
the residents of this place and the surrounding
cow owers-who insist on pasturing their stock
on our lawns-we feel that you are perhaps
unintentonally, giving aid and comfort to our
enemy by your publication in the Sunday Jour-
nal. You were n,isnformed to the result of
our recent trial with Mr.. Martin. The fine i'm
posed was for injury done to stock. not for i'm
pounding it. You will see by reference to the
decision of Judge Howe, that we have the
right to impound stock found running at large
in Woodruff Place, and We intend to continue TO
do so. VIM. G.. LOCKWOOD,
President Board OF Trustees of Woodruff Place.

Mr.. Cleveland and John C. Calhoun.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
President Cleveland in his letter, reported,
to Mayor Henry E. Young inviting him to be
present at the unwilling of the monument
erected to the memory of John C. Calhoun, says:
II believe it would be we'll if all he did and even
believed and taught and all his aspirations for
the welfare and prosperity of our republic were
better known and understood. If this were so
much would be found to emil ehten and encourage
those charged with public daty; much to stlmu-
late patriotic enthusiasm"
I believe most of the people know that John
c. Calhoun was at tlma in favor of the
United States bank and afterwards against it;
that he was first protective tariff advocate aud
afterwards against it, that at one time ne
Federalist and then Republican; that he was at
all times a strong advocate for the justice of
human slavery and in favor of the doctrine of
State rights and qualification. If knowledge
of these facts stimulate patriotic enthusiasm"
in the Democratic party or any other party I
pity the party. INDEPENDENT

SPANS National Odor.

an extravagant and continuous consumption of
garlic these people, men and women, get it into
their skins. From their skins it passes into their
clothes, so that they walk about in a small per-

and sickening.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Members of Congress Look Upon Call for q
: Session in the Fall as Inevitable.
Washington Special.
The talk of an extra session of Congress is re-
newed with seriousness. There are probably
twenty members or Senators in both parties who
did not look upon a call as inevitable and this.
TOO, with the full knowledge that the President
and Secretary Fairchild are doing all they can
to prevent the necessity. Mr.. Holman is the
only member that has been heard to express the
opinion that it would not be necessary to meet
before December. The other Democratic mem
bers and Senators who call upon the President
all urge upon him that the House must be given
time to organize and get their work started be-
fore the holiday recess. In making their ar
fragments for the recess they have considered
the probability of their having to return by the
first. 1t is seldom that Congress is so near IN
accord on any subject as upon this Some SEN
ators who were keeping house have not broken
up, as has been their custom at the be-
ginning of the long recesses Every calcula-
ton is made for an early return.
There are several reasons which control
different men to the same conclusion. Senator
Beck and others who make study OF finances
think the financial condition of the country de-

much influenced by the consideration OF either
of these matters point to the failure of the gen.
eral deficiency and the river and harbor appro-
priation bills, and say that hardships are result

the failure of the deficiency bill. and they con-
tend that there will be great damage to work
already in progress on the waterways, and
heavy expense incurred, if the river and har-
Dor bill has to wait its turn after the holiday

The President is very anxious to avoid an
extra session. but he is taking into consideration
the possibility of his having to call one, and he
will not make any engagements that might take
him out of the city after Oct l.

er. who has won notoriety in two continents by
his PRONUNCIATION of the doctrine that 'De

himself in direct opposition to the views forth

Advent. Mr.. Baxter has repeatedly argued that
the world will come to an end in the year 1900.
This only gives US margin of thirteen years.

Why the MOther-in-Law Interfereii.

WHITEHALL, Mich, April 25-Thls commu-
nifty is very much excited over the singular case
of Captain and Mrs. Davis, of this place.. in
which the Captains mother-inlaw figures promi-
nently. On March Mrs. Davis left for visit
to her parents. The days passed and Captain
Davis received no word from his wife Three
weeks slipped by, and then came note from
Mrs Davis stating that she would not return to
her husband. Two weeks later came word that
Captain Davis's baby had died.
1t now transpires that Mrs. Davis called at the
postoffice recently and found twelve letters from
her husband, the first she had received Three
former letters had been taken from the post
Office by her mother and destroyed. The aston
shed wife Immediately wrote to her husband,
and the two are reunited. The mothers excuse
for her action is that Captain Davis and his wife
thought too much of each other. The govern
ment will look up the matter.
